I heard a story about a little girl in South Korea who died due to neglect because her parents were playing WoW too much.

That's just really scary, and if it's that addictive, I'd rather not play it. D:

I've never really heard of RTS games, but I'm not totally fond of MMORPGs. I've tried playing a few, but... they just didn't interest me much. :/

That won't happen if you're sensible about it. I love playing heaps of games, but I know when to stop. Besides, if you start playing, you'll probably run out of money before physically harming anyone.

RTS's are Real-Time Strategies. You'll have heard of games that are RTS's. Age of [Empires, Mythology, etc.], Civilisation, Dawn of War, etc.

Did the story have any actual evidence, and can you retrieve it for us from a reliable source? I think not.

I seriously doubt that ever happened.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. WoW is a very addicting game. They even have a clan that you can join, they will take your character from level 1 to level 70 in three days and some odd hours. The thing is, you need to be playing 24/7 in order to do it. So yeah, pretty addicting game.

@Scarlet Lynn: If you've never played/heard of an RTS before, or if you don't like MMORPG's, then there is something wrong with you. XD

RTS stands for Real Time Strategy, and it's also my favorite game genre. In simple terms, an RTS is very much like commanding an army, or ruling a nation, etc. It's basically the ultimate strategy experience. Fair enough?

Here's your proof. Happy? :D It's not nice to assume I don't have sources. :/

Things like these happen more than you think, and it's quite easy for something like this to happen, especially if someone has an addictive nature. :x I've heard stories of people dying because they were so addicted to the game, they did absolutely nothing else.

Never bothered with WoW. Ragnarök Online is my MMO of choice. I was going to get into this new game called Mabinogi, but alas, it's a pay-to-play in sheep's clothing.

We're a whole lot smarter than you would assume.
 
Any MMORPG can be addictive, actually. I was incredibly addicted to MapleStory when I was thirteen. XD; I mean, I look back at it now and wonder where my life went, but those were fun times~
 
I miss you guys <3

I'd play an MMO if I could find a good free one. I'm NOT paying for something like WoW, just seems ludicrous.

You kinda walked into that one yourself, the forum isn't really cruel...

My friend was always bugging me to play MapleStory and Ragnarok, what're those about anyway?

I heard MapleStory is childish...but yeah, just what I heard.
 
Ragnarok... my friend kept telling me about it in Grade Eight, but I never actually found it that interesting. :/

MapleStory is childish, but it was cute... until idiots came on and spammed up the place. Some of the things they say are gross. >_>
 
Ragnarok... never played it :x Actually, can't say I've heard of it either XD;

Maple Story was alright, for a while. It got really old after a while, just the saaaaame thiiiiing over and over and over. But I thought it was really cute overall, and the music was so catchy o3o
 
That's all great and stuff guys, but there are more important things to discuss tonight.

SUCH AS my new Tangerine theme. Sig+av. Opinions?
 
You know, FauxCivility.... your flashing banner makes me wanna strangle something...
 
Dude your sig/theme is pretty sweet..just a question, does anyone listen to bob marley?
